  • Hello everyone! I highly recommend watching Introduction to Symbols first to fully understand what's going on here. This video dives deeper into instances and the connection between the main Timeline and the Timeline inside the Symbol. I also show off the Frame Picker, a tool designed specifically for Symbols.

      Not sure about your situation specifically, but you'll need to create a new keyframe for every new drawing. And look into 'synchronising' your Symbol
